Next Gen Hero

Truth Bomb

Y/N POV

I enter my house where I see Blake. She spots Noir and gasps running to me.

Blake: "What happened?"

Y/N: "She got hit pretty bad. Luckily I found her."

Blake: "Let's get her patched up."

We take her to a spare room. From there we take off her top seeing a nasty burn on her chest. 

Blake: "What would even cause a burn like this?"

Y/N: "A damn rocket."

She lightly applies pressure to Noir's ribs. She groans.

Blake: "She's got a couple broken ribs. Hold them."

I gently hold her ribs in place as Blake tightly wraps a bandage around her chest. We patch up her burned hands before leaving her to rest.

Noir POV

I gasp waking up. What happened? I gently sit up feeling my side. Looking down I see bandages wrapped around my chest. How'd I get home? I think about what happened.

Noir: "Dad."

Still holding my side I limp down the stairs. As I reach the living room I see mom and dad watching the news. I watch as it shows me taking a rocket launcher to the chest. Mom turns when upon spotting me her and dad rush to my side.

Y/N: "How're you feeling?"

Noir: "Banged up. But alive."

Blake: "What happened?"

I explain everything that happened.

Blake: "Why would they need a machine from Bio Life?"

Noir: "I don't know."

I look at the floor.

Noir: "I failed. By not being strong enough I let them get away to do Oum knows what with that machine."

I clench my fist when a hand is placed on my shoulder. I look up.

Blake: "You may have failed. But you're alive. And that's all that matters."

Noir: "But-"

Y/N: "No buts. We prefer you failed and lived rather than succeed and die."

I unclench my fist.

Noir: "You're right."

I recall something.

Noir: "Hey dad. Why were you at the building I was at?"

He remains still and becomes... shocked?

Y/N: "I was just around and saw what happened."

I narrow my gaze.

Noir: "There's something I've been meaning to ask you. How is it you came to have your abilities?"

Y/N: "Because I'm a Faunus."

Noir: "But you have multiple abilities. Faunus should only have one."

He says nothing.

Noir: "What're you hiding?"

He looks into my eyes. He then sighs.

Y/N: "I'm not actually a Faunus."

Blake: "Honey?"

Noir: "Then what are you?"

Y/N: "I'm an experiment meant to cram multiple Faunus abilities into a single person. I was raised in a lab where I was rescued and raised here in Vale."

I begin piecing things together.

Noir: "So the old hero of Vale... was you. Wasn't it?"

Y/N: "Yes."

I clench my fists. 

Noir: "So all my life, you lied. Lied about why I was never allowed into Vale. Why you never let me watch the news growing up. Why you always dodged the question about your past."

Y/N: "Noir I-"

Noir: "Was my life a lie!?! Did you even love me!?!"

Y/N: "Don't you raise your voice at me young lady!!"

Noir: "I can't believe you!!! You, my greatest hero, are nothing but a liar."

I run upstairs.

Y/N: "Noir wait!!!"

Throwing on my top and hood I leap out of the window fleeing into the city.

Y/N: "Noir!!!!"

Y/N POV

I slam my fist onto the window seal.

Y/N: "Damnit."

I run towards the door.

Blake: "Where're you going?"

Y/N: "To find our daughter before she does something stupid!"

Throwing on a heavy jacket I go out into the cold of the night. Leaping onto a roof I look at the street which's filled with people.

Y/N: "Where are you Noir?"

I leap into an alley and walk into the street to find my daughter.
